Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art (The Square) will once again host a variety of art classes for all ages and abilities beginning early January, with most classes running January – February. The Square offers art classes on a quarterly basis that are taught by local and visiting professional artists. Mediums taught include ceramics/pottery for adults and youth, Beginning Drawing, Beginning Painting, Ceramics Date Night, and a watercolor workshop.
The Square’s adult classes are offered at a variety of skill levels, while youth programming is built for pre-K through 12th Grade. The Square’s Education Department offers a series of free programs including a free weekly Senior Art Class for artists of any ability over 60 years of age; a Veteran Arts program every other Wednesday; a free weekly art class for teens called Curative Art Collective; and art classes for adults with disabilities in partnership with Easterseals-Goodwill.
Returning in 2025 is a community meetup called Textile Tuesday, where fiber artists can meet at the museum to work on projects, ask each other for advice, and network about new techniques. This meetup is great for knitters, crocheters, sewists, quilters, and more. Attendees should bring their own supplies, and snacks are available to purchase in the museum gift shop.
The Veteran Arts program is open to Veterans in Great Falls and surrounding areas. Instructors specializing in their trained media lead classes each month, allowing participants to explore many different art mediums throughout. The Veteran Arts program is free, and all participants are required to register for each class by calling the museum or registering online.
The public is invited to register for paid or free classes each quarter. Partial scholarships may be available through The Square’s Roberta Cooney Memorial Fund. Those interested in art education at The Square can visit www.the-square.org/education to learn more, apply for scholarships, and register for classes and programs.
